Greetings from Sweden!

Hallo!
im now at Aunt Rosalind's place! life's good. food's even better!
hmm..the kids turning in soon i better go offline..will blog here soon again!
ciao!

no more exams!!!

hallo!
my exams r finally officially over!!
after dragging for a whole 1 mth..im now FREE!! the sweet smell of freedom..=)
n now an update of wat i've been up to for the last few weeks..
studying
trying to study
pretending to study
in summary...studying!!
haha...sounds pretty no life ya..indeed it is so.
i cant say i've studied hard..but..i did study after all. it was v stressful esp when i have been touching my books for the entire semester. with the lectures all in german, it really requires consistent work. else will end up like me. =p
yup, enough of exams. now im trying to pack..it's sad to be constantly reminded that i'll be leaving my room tmr..so tonight will be the last night in my room, the very place where i call home for the past 4 mths..it's hard to part with it..though the floor has not been cleaned for mths, my sink has this permanant ugly mark, the oven-like temperature tat seem to be toasting me every evening, the foul smell coming from my accumulated rubbish bags, my flooding shower sink that made my shampoo/shower foam bottles swim after every shower, weird types of mutant-like insects stuck to my ceiling at night n mysteriously disappearing in the morning, my next-door neighbor smoking at 2 fixed times of the day when the fumes start diffusing in..i'll miss my room..0827..once my home, always my home. =)
so now it's back to life with more travelling to be done! I'll be visiting my uncle n his family in Malmo, Sweden and den go on to travel germany! finally..my long-awaited COLOGNE!!! =D will be back in Munich on 6th Aug. den plan to travel to prague (heard the food there's good!) and Rothenburg. Das ist alles! pretty ambitious huh..haha tat's me. =p
ok i shall pack up and for my trip tmr as well..15hrs alone on the train to copenhagen..i'll be rotting..n stoning..while my frens in munich will be having dinner together..without me! =( but can't be helped. by the time im back..it's only half a village left..i'll definitely miss the company. really enjoyed those fun-filled times we shared. thank you guys! see u all back home in nus! =)

exam fever

hi!
been so long since i blogged..
have been back in Freiburg over the weekend. n it was definitely a worthful trip, despite us all carrying the exam burden there n back. miss them so much! lisa n jonas have grown so much. nothing much has changed over the 2 yrs. it felt so much like home..just as it felt so 2 yrs ago. =)
exams exams n more exams making me more sleepy these days..old bad habit. =(

Sunsets

Summer is great in a way tat I can see v beautiful sunsets here in my room. it's a superb view. there're different shades of colours in the sky..n can see the big "egg yolk" moving slowly down until the sky turns completely dark. It never fail to distract me from watever im doing. too mesmerising. makes me wonder how many more sunsets can i see here in munich..every sunset means one less day left here..but one day nearer to home..so it depends on how i look at it.

finally did washing today. n my room is full of clothes hanging everywhere now! practically anywhere n everywhere i think is possible to hang my clothes. yes there's a dryer downstairs but..i would have to wait for v v long..so decided to air-dry them instead. though there's no sun today..=) the state of my room now...3 words..IN A MESS! =p


n my first pair of dear ear ring..dropped into the sink..gone forever. it meant a lot to me..coz it's sth tat really belong to me. sth which i decided for myself. sth i did for myself. ... guess some things u juz cant help it. they happen. n i can do nothing but to accept it. accept the fact tat it's gone. but most pple cant, they'll go "i sld have... ... ...", "if only... ...". as if all that will help. argh..im too traumatised now to write anything that's making sense. sld go study..i sld!!

farewell.

confirm date of departure...

hi!! haha, finally got my stuff settled today!
thanks to bro randall! arigato! =)
i'll be leaving here on the 11th aug and arriving on 12th august afternoon..so it's only one month more left here..=(

enjoy. =)

Germany lost...too.

Germany lost to Italy today..well..the game was pretty fair n square n Italy has played much better den i expected! so..no grumbles. it's juz feeling pretty upset tat all the teams i support has been officially ruled out plus today not in good mood. oh well..good. now i can fully concentrate on studying for exams. have papers on 13th, 24th and 26th before it's all over! my 4 mths of exchange here in germany..有点不舍得..coz have gotten so used to the life n pple here le. but it's great to be able to see all my dear frens n family n singapore again. so..mixed feelings. =) now still deciding whether i sld go sweden n denmark to travel after my exams coz tat wld mean more $ spent..hmm..=S but im definitely going Cologne no matter wat..i muz go! =)

i had my qualifying exam today. cant say tat i did myself proud but..i sort of qualified so..gd.
bought for myself a pair of papillo slippers today!! sehr pretty..like it a lot! =) feel like going shopping these days..my t shirts r slowly depleting themselves esp in this hot weather!
n we had KFC for dinner today!! ate 2 piece chicken set + whipped potato. first time i act cant finish my meal..mainly coz the potato taste weird n the fries r tasteless n the coleslaw is sour. but..the drinks r free flow! haha drink till full full. *BULP* =p

hmm..actually except from the disappointments n setbacks i got from the worldcup recently, everything is great here! met a few v v kind pple here who r willing to help me..thus making my life much better! arigato! =) haha n i met my fren's bf today in the mensa, not bad looking wo..haha too bad he's attached. but still i muz say..they look like a perfect couple! shall try to take a photo with them n show ur k! =) hee now my mood is much much better..tmr shall be a better day. or rather today. =)

p/s..gracias..i feel much better now! =)

Spain, England, Brazil OUT

how bad can things get..the three teams i support has all gone home. out of the worldcup 2006. maybe it is better off tat they're no longer in it. coz the worldcup itself is ugly. so wat if they win the cup..i'm not convinced at all. the good teams are all out. how good can the champion team be? wat is the significance of the worldcup? this worldcup has gave me too many disappointments n sad memories. seeing my favourite teams falling down one by one like dominos is really traumatising n heart-breaking. can't erase the disappointed looks of the players when they lost. the look of defeat. the tearing beckham. the cursing rooney. the kelong referees. the filthy french. the heart attacks from the penalty shootout. how bad can things get? two disappointments in a day is way..too much for me to bear. now my remaining wish is..please nv ever let the french win the worldcup!!!

Disappointments...n more disappointments...

worldcup has officially ended for me
it's hard to accept.
but tat's the cold hard truth
2006 worldcup
full of disappointments
terrible feeling it is
when i see all the teams i support
going home one by one
n the team i despise
progressing into quarter finals
W-H-Y?
because nothing in life is fair
so be it!
